Inexpensive Baby Crafts

I think I'm mostly done with baby crafting....for now. Once we are ready to move back home, there are a number of art projects that I hope to complete. But for now, we've pretty much exhausted every bit of space that we have acsess to. In fact, some of the items I've created that I'm showing in this post won't be in use until we move home. But I couldn't stop myself! I love to create!


Aubrey's First-Aid Kit
Aubrey's First-Aid kit. This little box holds all of her medical supplies - diaper rash cream, thermometer, medicines, gripe water, ect... Thank heavens for my Cricut Expression. It is the best thing for cutting. It cut every piece that's on this little Sterlite box that was purchased at Walmart for less than $2. I inked the edges of some of the paper to make it stand out a bit more.

Clothes Closet Dividers
I bought these door hangers at Michael's craft store and embellished them. I cut the pieces with my Cricut Expression. Man, I love that thing! There aer actually four all together - but I mistakenly photographed one twice. The last one has a purple moose.



"A" is for Aubrey
I bought this letter long before Aubrey was even a glint in my eye. It was from the Dollar Store. I covered it with pink polka dot paper and some scrapbooking embellishments. This is one of the items that won't be put up until we are back in our own home.

Little Buckets
I bought these little buckets at the dollar section in Michael's. They were galvanized metal but I spray painted them (with a mask on!) "Ballet Slipper" by Krylon. I then used my Cricut to cut out the little tags. They hold cotton balls,  cotton swabs and Aubrey's beauty tools like her nail clippers and hair brush set.



 Hairbow and Headband Hanger
A few years ago, I purchased these hangers at Michael's on clearance. They were a Halloween item and were black in color. I figured I'd use them at some point, and I finally did! This is Aubrey's hairbow and headband holder. I used shimmery pink and shimmery white scrapbook paper and of course, I let my Cricut to all of the cutting for me. I have no sort of luck with an X-acto knife. I have no patience for that kind of thing! I added some little jewels to bling it up a bit too!
